*LYRICS*
============================
What is causing all this commotion?
Try to style* we plant from getting promotion?
Cho!
Huuuh no, no, no, no
Nooooooo
I Buju may not be familiar with how the country run
But why they fighting sensimilia making way for coke to come
Mashing up daughter, whole heap of son of a worm
You fi* hand me the fire make I blaze the chillum
Buju may not be familiar with how the country run
Look how they fighting sensimilia making way for coke to come
Mashing up daughter, whole heap of son of a worm
You fi hand me the fire….why?!
No, no, no!
So I'm a ganja planter
Call me the ganja farmer
Deep down inna the earth where me put the ganja
Babylon* come and light it up on fire
Me ah* chant
Yes I'm a ganja planter
Call me the ganja farmer
Deep down inna the earth where me put the ganja
Babylon come, yo yo!
Tell them now that the smoking of ganja remain
When the heathen ask you why, let Buju Banton explain
Found down inna Ethiopia, no come here 'pon no plane
I salute all the scholars, the herb man just the same
Cah* we all take a draw whether big or small
Meditation is good for one and all
While the topic inna all of them conference hall
Is to persecute the weed from existence overall
I may not be familiar with how the country run
Look how they fighting sensimilia making way for coke to come
Mashing up daughter, whole heap of son of a worm
You fi hand me the fire....
Watch it now man
Big stinking helicopter flow through the air
What them call it, them call it weed-eater
Them never did there when me want totin water
Or when me did applying fertilizer
Yet outta the sky them spitting fire
And I'm a likkle* youth man with a hot temper
Me dig up me stinking rocket launcher
And inna the air dispense the helicopter
Me ah chant
Yes I'm a ganja planter
Call me the ganja farmer
Deep down inna the earth where me put the ganja
Babylon come and light it up on fire
Me ah chant
Yes I'm a ganja planter
Call me the ganja farmer
Deep down inna the earth where me put the ganja
Babylon come.......hear tune now man!
Trust Daniel, believe his words
Him ah one of our own
Told us about the stars, leave them alone
If you see me with a whizzer, that's me vibes and a smoke
Great is He in Zion who cause the tender earth to bud
Cannot visit the crop the first night you make love
The rat bat manure alone blow you above
Basic introduction to the wisdom weed of love
No hide it from the green nor the red and black
No swallow hot fire like no damn idiot
I may not be familiar with how the country run
Look how them fighting sensimilia making way for coke to come
Mashing up daughter, whole heap of son of a worm
You fi hand me the fire......tell them!
Cah me say ganja, ganja, ganja, ganja
If you no want to call it that call it sensimilia
If you no want to call it that call it marijauna
If you no want to call it that call it the indica
And from me burn it in a chalice or inna sheet of paper
Lord, that's how me love me ganja
So I'm a ganja planter
Call me the ganja farmer
Deep down inna the earth where me put the ganja
Babylon come and light it up on fire
Me ah chant
Yes I'm a ganja planter
Call me the ganja farmer
Deep down inna the earth where me put the ganja
Babylon come, ya ya!
Give me the vibes, look in my eyes
Make the whole place mobilize
After five I don't even realize
Listening the sound of music penetrating
Soothing the mind with the weed complimenting the time
No wanna see no bill, let the damn phone ring
Observing the plant, looking so tranquill
